No season of the year sings as well as Christmas. It makes no difference whether you're a Christian, or not; a kind of irresistable magic fills the air with the sights and sounds and aroma of the season. And the world breaks out in song. Can you imagine the celebration of Christmas without carols? --Or without the warm glow of candles reminding us of the "light of Christ" that has come into our world to pierce the "darkness"? ...My favorite carols include Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Holy Night, Away in a Manger and I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. What are your favorites? ...I invite you to join your church family for our Christmas Eve Service of "Lessons and Carols"...December 24th, 7 pm - 8:15 pm, to once more hear the wonderful story of Christmas, sing your favorite carols, light some candles and reflect on the "reason for the season." Bring the whole family. And it's a great opportunity to invite friends and neighbors to share the joy and hope of Christmas with you. The announcement of the angels to the shepherds captures the essence of Christmas so well: "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 'Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'" (Luke 2:10, 11) Froeliche Weinachten, Pastor Ray |
